Seeing my city with new eyes
Chaz ·So much fun! Planned a birthday staycation for my boyfriend. This was our first stop with the city pass and it did not disappoint. We were newbies but were able to do everything just fine on our own. I can not for the life of me remember the name of who helped us but they were so great! Answered all of questions and talked with us after. Only regret not doing the longer time!!!!!!!
